“We cannot normalize this rhetoric, this language, anti-Muslim hate, Islamophobia and racism,” Rep. Jamaal Bowman said last week. “If leadership does not act accordingly, we are condoning that behavior.”

Bowman, D-N.Y., made that comment at a press conference demanding House Democratic leaders call a vote on a resolution removing Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., from her committee assignments.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other party leaders hemmed and hawed all week about whether they would back such a move. They ended the week without taking action.
